I consider myself fortunate that I left professional astronomy when I did.

I am the inadvertent laboratory rat of professional astronomy.

Do not be a professional astronomer’s altidiot.

I worked at three high altitude professional astronomy sites. My ranking for the biological toxicity of those sites is: 1) Mauna Kea. 2) Kitt Peak. 3) Roque de los Muchachos.

I am a victim of professional astronomy.

Professional astronomy ruined my life.

The sickest high altitude workers that I encountered in professional astronomy were at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, USA.

After a decade in high altitude professional astronomy and daily mal-acclimatization, professional astronomy worker Steven Magee cannot acclimatize to any altitude.

To build the world’s largest telescope atop the sacred mountain of Mauna Kea in Hawaii requires getting past me, and I do not think professional astronomers will be successful in doing so.
